It has a population of 27,755 (as of 31 December 2013),[1] which makes 27,34% of the whole city. With an area of 5.40 km2 (2.08 sq mi).[1] it is also the largest.

Annelinn is planned with the shape of amphitheater with ascending relief, and an imaginary centre located on the watermeadow of the Emajõgi River.
